While the equipment was good at the time it was purchased, it couldn’t match up with newer technologies and the department knew it was time to upgrade. Budget was a factor in decision making, and they needed the ability to thoroughly understand the benefits of new equipment before approving a purchase.

The Solution:

Will-Burt worked with East Wayne by first allowing them to demo new lighting solutions to get a hands-on look at how technology has advanced. The ability of department members to see the drastic changes in rescue lighting over the years helped them to understand how new lighting could benefit their efforts. They ultimately purchased a KME Rescue with two Night Scan light towers for their department.

East Wayne immediately noticed positive results from their purchase. Each scene is now a well-lit, more secure place for both the rescue teams and their victims. Without the lighting, the area would be darker and rescue efforts could take longer. It also helps them find potential hazards much faster, which helps with efficiency and overall safety for rescuers.

The results we are seeing are fantastic…Kyle Nussbaum, East Wayne Fire
